Have you ever found yourself trapped in the paradox of wanting to hit the dance floor while your soul yearns for a cozy late-night drive? Well, let me introduce you to Loe Shimmy—a master of mellow, melody-driven hip hop who feels tailor-made for those moments when you’re cruising with the windows down and the world is nothing but a blur. But here’s the kicker: he’s just teamed up with Cash Cobain, whose sound typically prances around with snappier beats meant to set the party vibe ablaze. Sounds like an odd couple at first glance, doesn’t it? But the duo’s new single “Confession” is about to flip the script on what we think we know about musical partnerships. With Cash Cobain’s energetic flair mixed with Shimmy’s smooth grooves, this track manages to be both catchy and chill—like an ice cream sundae in a thunderstorm. Grab your headphones, because this collaboration has something fresh to say, and I’m here for every moment of their sonic dive!
Loe Shimmy makes mellow music. He’s not for the clubs, he’s for late night drives and headphones. He provides listeners with subtle, melody-driven hip hop. The notion of him linking up with Cash Cobain was not a slam dunk on paper, given that Cobain has made his name with snappier, more dance-friendly hits. Fortunately, the combination worked out wonderfully. Loe Shimmy and Cash Cobain joined forces on the new single “Confession,” which manages to cater to the strengths of both artists.
The Cash Cobain stimulus package is in full effect here. The snaps, and the producer tag are heard at the top of the song, but “Confession” is a bit different. It’s glitchy, but it’s also slower, and more subdued than most of Cobain’s biggest hits. The change works. Loe Shimmy finds a pocket during the first verse, slipping effortlessly into the beat with his catchy delivery. Cobain has a different approach when he picks up the song during the second half, but the switch up works to the song’s advantage. Loe Shimmy and Cash Cobain sound wildly different on record, and it’s these sonic disparities that make “Confession” a compelling listen, ultimately.

Quotable Lyrics:
